The Season 17 premiere of “America’s Got Talent” got off to a steady drumbeat Tuesday night.
The Pack Drumline, a Chicago-based drumline troupe, was the first act of the night to perform in front of judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofía Vergara and Howie Mandel. The group got its start as part of an after school program for at-risk youth in 2014, going from “bucket drums and PVC pipes” to an explosive percussion dance group.
“(We're) just really here to represent our city, to represent our loved ones and to represent ourselves,” said Perry Donta'e, the group’s founder.
With their synchronized drumming and spirited dance moves, the troupe had the in-studio audience erupting in cheers and applause and ended up scoring a triumphant four yeses from the judges.

XOMG Pop! shines with Jojo Siwa-certified sparkle
Like a glittery cotton candy dream come alive, girl group XOMG Pop! brought their sugary pop magic to the “AGT” stage, performing their infectious song “Candy Hearts.”
The protégé of Jojo Siwa, who formed XOMG Pop! with her mother Jessalynn Siwa, the seven-member group was an instant crowd pleaser, hamming it up onstage in their sparkly, rainbow-colored outfits. Siwa and her mom were also there to cheer the girls on from the sidelines.

Even Cowell couldn’t resist, though he tried to put on a good front. “I’m gonna be honest with you, I didn’t like it,” he said teasingly, before adding, “I loved it.”
“What’s there not to like about you?” Cowell continued. “Your energy, your enthusiasm: It was like a little mini-explosion.”
Ben Lapidus melts judges’ doubts with cheesy song
Sometimes you have to give the people what they want, and that was exactly the case with novelty singer-songwriter Ben Lapidus.
With an acoustic guitar in hand, Lapidus performed a zany original song about the frustration of wanting more parmesan cheese while at an Italian restaurant. “I always want more parmesan, but I’m embarrassed,” he sang. “Why are they so stingy? Is there a shortage of parmesan? / Is it really that expensive? / I just want more cheese, is that so wrong?”
Despite supportive cheers from the audience, Lapidus’ humor didn’t land with the judges at first, earning him four red Xs before he could even finish the song.
“I don’t like parmesan. I don’t like your song, so I’m saying no,” Cowell said.
